I appreciate how the article referenced Jennifer Bilek's 11th hour blog. She writes on this in great detail.
On another note, this makes me want to read Rene Girard all the more. His mimetic theory is fascinating. Also, how cheeky of Rothblatt to name his child Jenesis. He knows quite well the first book of the Bible is about the calamity and enslavement that happens when humans seek immortality. I don't think for a minute Rothblatt's project is about human liberation. It's about enslavement to his will.
